Fortify Confluence Security
Fortify Confluence Security is an intermediate-to-advanced course for IT professionals responsible for protecting organizational knowledge and meeting multi-framework compliance expectations. As Confluence becomes a critical system of record, securing it isn't optional—it's foundational. You'll focus on practical decisions that strengthen Confluence security in real environments: implementing defense-in-depth controls through SAML SSO and MFA, especially for high-risk contractor accounts; configuring space permissions and page restrictions to enforce least-privilege access; validating encryption across two layers—data in transit through TLS and sensitive credentials at rest through AES-256 secured secrets. Beyond configuration, you'll develop the analytical skills that distinguish security professionals from operators. You'll interpret penetration scan results using risk-based prioritization frameworks, analyze audit logs to distinguish security incidents from operational errors, and document controls against multiple compliance frameworks—ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST CSF, and SOC 2—understanding that unified security postures satisfy overlapping requirements efficiently. Through guided activities and scenario-based assessments, you'll build both technical competence and professional judgment: the ability to implement controls, validate they're working, and confidently communicate your security decisions to auditors and leadership alike.

Korean Political Thought in the Past and Present
When we think about Korean Thought or Korean Philosophy, much of the focus tends to be on the distinguished figures, their writings, and their intellectual debates. Korean Political Thought, however, while not entirely overlooked, remains relatively underexplored, and perhaps, underappreciated. But, we should remember that most Korean Confucians were not merely intellectuals. They aspired to put their ideas into action, trying to realize an ideal Confucian society. In that sense, they were also politicians, either with or without government participation. As such, they are often referred to as scholar-officials. It is, therefore, crucial to understand what their political visions were, how their ideas influenced Korean society, and what we can learn from them to make our world a better place. This lecture series, featuring eight thought-provoking sessions, offers a valuable introduction to Korean Political Thought. It is designed to engage everyone, both those already familiar with Korean philosophy and those encountering it for the first time.
